What is the test for obtaining access to a juror's personal identifying information?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from The People v. Wilbert Lee St., F058909, Super. Ct. No. VCF204484 (Cal. App. 2010):

3. The statute provides: "Any person may petition the court for access to these records. The petition shall be supported by a declaration that includes facts sufficient to establish good cause for the release of the juror's personal identifying information. The court shall set the matter for hearing if the petition and supporting declaration establish a prima facie showing of good cause for the release of the personal juror identifying information, but shall not set the matter for hearing if there is a showing on the record of facts that establish a compelling interest against disclosure. A compelling interest includes, but is not limited to, protecting jurors from threats or danger of physical harm. If the court does not set the matter for hearing, the court shall by minute order set forth the reasons and make express findings either of a lack of a prima facie showing of good cause or the presence of a compelling interest against disclosure." (Code Civ. Proc., 237, subd. (b).)

4. Overruled on another ground by People v. Jones (1990) 51 Cal.3d 294, 322.
